(Tampa Tribune) Prosecutors have released a video taken from a school bus camera that shows a driver using her foot to push a special-needs student from the vehicle.

The video was released this morning by the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office as part of the discovery process in the aggravated child abuse case involving Stephanie Wilkerson, 41. She was a bus driver for the Hillsborough County School District at the time of her arrest.

Police have said Wilkerson was driving special-needs students to Tampa Bay Boulevard Elementary School on Sept. 28 when the incident happened.
